Good and evil are social constructs. Something that is now "Good" will be "evil" in the future (as has already occured) and vis-versa.

Then again, if people were good I wouldn't starve. But what about natural problems beyond the control of man? I'm not sure there is such a connection (however us all being "good" would go a long way to solve this).
I stole a bible once. I was hungry. In a similar move, I wiped my arse on one once when I was out of toilet paper (and a chuck Austen Comic book for those in the know).

Re: Is there a distinction between Humans and Animals?

Lets use the Rolls Royce or Lamborghini analogy. Both of these fine automobiles are constructed in a far superior method from the average car
I have a bust-up old 4x4 and want to pull a trailer up a hill in a muddy field - which is best? Mine or the rolls Royce. How does one measure superior construct in such a situation? This message has been edited by Charles Knight, 09-15-2004 04:23 AM

Re: Peter, Paul, and Mary..(Well,not Mary)
What a lot of old crap - I'm getting sick of those tired tired old chestnuts.
They deliberately suppress any connection of spiritual truths and attempt to construct theories devoid of any such reference. 1.Your evidence of "deliberate" suppression? - your personal fantasies don't count. I know one group who have had 100s of years of practice and it ain't scientists... (and I can back that with 100s of examples)
This is not any less biased, however, for many of these people merely want to get noticed in their own little circle of (mostly atheist) scholars Your asseration is that most scholars (historians at least) are atheist. I would like you to back or retract that claim as per the rules of this forum.

Well only if people belive in the concept of Sin - I don't believe in that or your Jesus person.

yes - still not a sin and those don't magic your jesus guy into existance. I'm always up for things that are morally unsound - well as long as their husbands are out. This message has been edited by Charles Knight, 09-29-2004 07:22 PM

so anything I think is morally wrong is a sin? I think being a christian is morally wrong.

Re: Of course, which God are we talking about?
Well actually I don't - but if a sin is what I think is morally wrong, then I could,no?

Re: NIV translation
How odd is that - "by changing the sense and some of the language used, it is a more accurate record..." em...eh..

Well that's funny because you seem to confirm his view with your first statement.

Congradulations, you have just called all Jews who follow Jesus idiots.
Defacto - those who don't are idiots thus proving Rrhian's point.

Not sure what this has to do with the subject but frankly it's full of holes anyway.
